Link Between Capacity for Current Production and Syntrophic Growth in Geobacter species
Electrodes are unnatural electron acceptors, and it is yet unknown how some Geobacter species evolved to use electrodes as terminal electron acceptors.

Electrochemical characterization of Geobacter lovleyi identifies limitations of microbial fuel cell performance in constructed wetlands [PDF]
Microbial Fuel Cells implemented in Constructed Wetlands (CW-MFCs) show limited performance. Geobacter Lovleyi has been demonstrated to be one of the predominant bacterial species in active CW-MFCs. The aim of this study was to characterize the growth of

Electricity Production byGeobacter sulfurreducensAttached to Electrodes [PDF]
ABSTRACTPrevious studies have suggested that members of theGeobacteraceaecan use electrodes as electron acceptors for anaerobic respiration. In order to better understand this electron transfer process for energy production,Geobacter sulfurreducenswas inoculated into chambers in which a graphite electrode served as the sole electron acceptor and ...

Geobacter, Anaeromyxobacter and Anaerolineae populations are enriched on anodes of root exudate-driven microbial fuel cells in rice field soil [PDF]
Plant-based sediment microbial fuel cells (PMFCs) couple the oxidation of root exudates in living rice plants to current production. We analysed the composition of the microbial community on anodes from PMFC with natural rice field soil as substratum for

The Curious Case of CysE: Diversity and Distribution of Serine Acetyltransferases in Bacteria
ABSTRACT Serine acetyltransferase (CysE) is a member of the left‐handed β‐helix family of acetyltransferases that catalyze the rate limiting step in de novo cysteine biosynthesis. There are two isoforms of CysE that differ in length, with the shorter isoform lacking approximately 76 amino acids at the N‐terminus of the protein from the serine ...

Biotic–Abiotic Hybrid Strategies for Photosynthetic Nitrogen Fixation and Green Ammonia Synthesis
Biotic‐abiotic photosynthetic systems integrate light‐harvesting semiconductors with nitrogenase's selective N2 reduction under ambient conditions, offering a sustainable alternative to conventional ammonia synthesis. Advancing rational interface design, efficient energy‐reaction coupling, and system integration is critical to realizing scalable, solar‐
